CA-11, Stone and Soil Delivery in Oakdale, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Oakdale, IL, and the ground here sets the order. CA-6, also called road base, is the dense graded crushed limestone that carries a drive or a pad.

Under it sits the tight claypan subsoil this part of the state is known for, which is why washed stone matters as much as base stone.

Each product page has a calculator, and quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard. Size the load there before you pick a material.

Materials for Oakdale Projects

Washed stone is the material that keeps water moving where the claypan will not. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone with no fines, and it beds pipe, lines drainage trenches and sits under concrete flatwork.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone sold alongside it for the same work.

Both go into French drains, drywells and downspout runs, where the point is open void space that water passes through instead of standing against a foundation wall.

CA-16 chips are the 3/8 inch size. They bed permeable pavers and drain around tanks, and they top a compacted base without adding fines to it.

For a drive or a parking pad, CA-6 is the base course. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

CA-6 is the material to name when you want a compacted surface that holds up under a truck.

Above the base, Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted one.

Bedding and finishing materials round out a project. Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling.

For softer ground cover, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and fence post mix, and Top Soil handles lawns, grading and bed prep. Screened topsoil from this region is dark and silty.

That is the whole of it.

Illinois Rock Supply delivers across Washington County, so Oakdale and the surrounding towns sit inside the same coverage. Orders also go out to Nashville, Okawville, Hoyleton, Ashley and Addieville.

Bulk material arrives as a tipped pile, so it helps to have the drop spot clear before the truck reaches you. Nothing is spread or placed by the driver.

Ground and Conditions in Oakdale

Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, the working season runs longer at both ends than it does upstate. A wet winter and spring still keep sites soft well into April, so late summer and fall are the reliable windows for a delivery.

The claypan sits close to the surface and stops water moving down. Winter and spring rain perches on top of it, ground stays saturated for weeks, and unbound base can pump under traffic.

That is the reason a clean washed layer belongs under and around anything that has to shed water. CA-7, CA-11 and CA-16 chips all pass water; CA-6 does not, because the fines are part of what makes it a base.

Cold comes with frequent freeze and thaw swings that work on saturated clay and heave drives and walks. The local building department sets frost depth, and footing depth is its call, not a number to guess at.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Where the thin loess is bared, sheet and gully erosion opens up, and banks scour along the larger streams in this part of the state.

Riprap armors those edges and culvert outlets.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Oakdale?

CA-6 is the base course for a drive here. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it compacts into a surface that carries traffic.

Where a drive needs to shed water, a clean washed stone such as CA-7 or CA-11 belongs in the drainage layer, since those sizes have no fines to hold moisture against the claypan.
